Helm

Name: Helm
Availability: InStock

A standalone path through Helm, the de-facto Kubernetes package manager. Beginner covers charts and releases, installing the CLI and using public charts, the chart structure, and values. Intermediate builds real charts: the Go templating engine, template functions and pipelines, subcharts and dependencies, and hooks/lifecycle. Advanced goes deep: library charts and reuse, testing and linting, signing/provenance and OCI registries, and securing Helm in GitOps and CI/CD. Real chart YAML and CLI output throughout; each level ends with a self-test feeding a rotating final exam.
